A CASE FOR DRAFTING HERBERT I MEAN LEVIS

While on YT watching film on all the qb's being discussed here I came across this

go to 39:15 mark.

That led me to go here. https://www.thepowderblues.com/forum/forum/los-angeles-chargers-forum-nfl-forum-padres-forum/charger-s-2017-draft-forum/748977-2020-nfl-draft-discussion/page7#post892712

That's when it got interesting, the similarities were astounding. 

Bryce Young / Tua was on their minds

Joe Burrow / CJ Stroud was out of reach they were picking 6th

Jordon Love / AR was moving up the boards trough media hype

Herbert / Levis was a hard pass, do not want

 

Some quotes from their board:

You are going to hate the Herbert pick.

Some heads will explode here if they were to pick Herbert here!

Hebert is very comparable to Paxon Lynch and other similar QB's who have awesome physical skills, but lack consistent accuracy, and intangibles so they usually are drafted high and are big busts in NFL......

Love may be in similar category, but at least he interviews better than herbert..... unfortunately neither of them ever played against a good defense like both Burrow and Tua have.....
 

Liars month. Everyone relax. And prepare yourself emotionally for when they take Herbert.

 

Hebert has a canon for an arm But throws almost every pass like a straight bullet pass in madden football..... when Hebert has a wide open receiver, he still throws a bullet instead of throwing a touch pass that allows receiver to adjust to the ball...... either he hits them with a strike or misses them badly..... bullet passes are needed for some plays against certain coverages, but when defense play zone, Hebert will have to loft the ball over defenders into soft spots in zone....... he did not do that in his bowl games or senior bowl...... and played primarily against bad defenses.... and almost all his completions were to open first reads...... he was horrible when first reads were covered.....

 

Can someone tell me that Herbert is a lot better than Stick or Taylor ?

Nope.

 

I don't want Herbert...too flat footed in the pocket and not accurate enough. Didn't give a darn about his Senior Bowl performance.

 

Herbert on Proday Launching Flatfooted 64 yards... Remember Levis pro day same thing,

 

I dont want Herbert but damn if he aint got a cannon.

 

 

Then there was one post saying it was their best off-season with F.A. ,new coach, new uniforms.
 

Like I said a lot of similarities today. I like to gamble, the draft is a gamble.... I'll take Young or Levis.

Oh there's also this....

Sweet jesus this is going to be a long 3 weeks.

Levis was a fine option at #9, once we made the trade up to #1 it became a 2 horse race.

Stop trying to make Levis or AR a possibility, it won't happen.

First off I think they should have stayed put, there is no clear number  1 qb.

Secondly I just made the thread to show how similar the two situations are and that you don't know who's going to do what.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
